It is less about our ability to recognize quality instruction when we see it
and more about our ability to master something new when we experience it.

good points. I would claim, along those who influence my thinking, that
there is not such a thing as rationality or logic independent of its
producers. Indeed, it has been argued that our experiments prove or
disprove what we already know. Otherwise it would take one look in the sky
and we would know what it is all (??) about.

If 'context' is 'what comes with', it seems to me that abstraction is
never about abandoning the sources of logic which make our symbols
meaningful to us. To me, the question is, is this logic uniform and hence
allowing us to reach the hights of LOGIC and REASON? And hence what would
this mean in the contexts of education and assessment?
